Cold Air Boost lol

Noticed this too on the GTi today. Throttle response noticeably improved and more eager to pull through the gears.

A general rule of thumb is that a 10 centigrade drop in intake temp will result in a 1% gain of engine power. No idea who came up with this, (or if it's correct) but it illustrates the importance of cool, dense air.
 
how bad must it feel being owned by a women( god i hate that, what happened to the sink and the hoover???) , thats why i have the power of konan= 100bhp under my bonet, just waiting to be unleashed on the world and the local retirement village of almera owners.( Soooo many OAP's have almeras, even saw 2 gti's)

85bhp minus the heat soak from the e-bay/halfords/motor world induction kits = 73bhp :P

put a k&n on my gti becuase i was pretty much given it and it made no difference at all to performance what so ever. didnt gain any power (was never expecting to gain any) but DEFINATLY didnt loose any!

makes a hell of a noise tho lol

What exactly is there to heat soak on the K&N intake? If what you meant was higher ambient temps due to the intake location then yes, but heat soak, no.
 
I think she was just generally mocking anyone with less than a 2 litre engine.

What's why i said it's all relative, as anyone with a 2.5 or bigger could say the same to her. End of the day if that's how you did mean it kails (and i completely apologise if you didnt!) then you're comparing an 85bhp (Sunny) family hatchback to a 143bhp family hatchback (GTi), something about big fishes in small ponds springs to mind.
